Tours in France

Make this the year you fall in love with the neighbour next door all over again. So close, yet so easily overlooked, France is a diverse destination that appeals to pleasure-seekers and adventure-seekers alike. From trekking in the Pyrenees or cycling in the Loire valley, to taking on the classic Tour du Mont Blanc or winding your way through Burgundy with a glass of wine in hand, our tours to France have so much to offer. You can cruise through the Canal du Midi, soak up the scent of lavender fields in Provence, and enjoy some of the finest food Europe has to offer.

2. The Alps... marked by huge glaciers, cliffs and waterfalls, and massive snow-clad summits. As you zigzag up the valley, forests take over, before thinning away to reveal the mountains. The pretty town of Chamonix tends to be the base for those wishing to explore mighty Mont Blanc.

3. The Loire Valley: Admire the UNESCO World Heritage-listed chateaux that dot the countryside as you take a leisurely ride through the beautiful countryside of the Loire Valley. Feast on deliciously ripe tomatoes and crusty French bread, and some of the best wine that France has to offer.

A wonderful week exploring a variety of trails through the forests in the Bolquere area of the...
